Publication number: 20170176746Abstract: Example systems and methods are described that help increase the situational awareness of a user of a helmet, such as a motorcycle helmet. One or more cameras are physically coupled to the helmet, where each camera includes a lens and an associated image sensor. Each camera is configured to generate a video feed, which is presented to a user on a display. The video feed represents a field-of-view around the helmet, and may be projected onto a surface, such as the visor of the helmet, thereby enabling enhanced situational awareness for the user of the helmet.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 17, 2015Publication date: June 22, 2017Inventors: Marcus Daniel Weller, Liang Guan, Andrew Wei Tam
